摘要:
A learning computer system may update parameters and states of an uncertain system. The system may receive data from a user or other source; process the received data through layers of processing units, thereby generating processed data; process the processed data to produce one or more intermediate or output signals; compare the one or more intermediate or output signals with one or more reference signals to generate information indicative of a performance measure of one or more of the layers of processing units; send information indicative of the performance measure back through the layers of processing units; process the information indicative of the performance measure in the processing units and in interconnections between the processing units; generate random, chaotic, fuzzy, or other numerical perturbations of the received data, the processed data, or the one or more intermediate or output signals; update the parameters and states of the uncertain system using the received data, the numerical perturbations, and previous parameters and states of the uncertain system; determine whether the generated numerical perturbations satisfy a condition; and if the numerical perturbations satisfy the condition, inject the numerical perturbations into one or more of the parameters or states, the received data, the processed data, or one or more of the processing units.
摘要:
A learning computer system may estimate unknown parameters and states of a stochastic or uncertain system having a probability structure. The system may include a data processing system that may include a hardware processor that has a configuration that: receives data; generates random, chaotic, fuzzy, or other numerical perturbations of the data, one or more of the states, or the probability structure; estimates observed and hidden states of the stochastic or uncertain system using the data, the generated perturbations, previous states of the stochastic or uncertain system, or estimated states of the stochastic or uncertain system; and causes perturbations or independent noise to be injected into the data, the states, or the stochastic or uncertain system so as to speed up training or learning of the probability structure and of the system parameters or the states.
摘要:
A learning computer system may include a data processing system and a hardware processor and may estimate parameters and states of a stochastic or uncertain system. The system may receive data from a user or other source; process the received data through layers of processing units, thereby generating processed data; apply masks or filters to the processed data using convolutional processing; process the masked or filtered data to produce one or more intermediate and output signals; compare the output signals with reference signals to generate error signals; send and process the error signals back through the layers of processing units; generate random, chaotic, fuzzy, or other numerical perturbations of the received data, the processed data, or the output signals; estimate the parameters and states of the stochastic or uncertain system using the received data, the numerical perturbations, and previous parameters and states of the stochastic or uncertain system; determine whether the generated numerical perturbations satisfy a condition; and, if the numerical perturbations satisfy the condition, inject the numerical perturbations into the estimated parameters or states, the received data, the processed data, the masked or filtered data, or the processing units.
摘要:
A procedure to automatically evaluate the spoken fluency of a speaker by prompting the speaker to talk on a given topic, recording the speaker's speech to get a recorded sample of speech, and then analyzing the patterns of disfluencies in the speech to compute a numerical score to quantify the spoken fluency skills of the speakers. The numerical fluency score accounts for various prosodic and lexical features, including formant-based filled-pause detection, closely-occurring exact and inexact repeat N-grams, normalized average distance between consecutive occurrences of N-grams. The lexical features and prosodic features are combined to classify the speaker with a C-class classification and develop a rating for the speaker.
